Very nicely put Prabhu. Very heartfelt.

 

Some on this conference bridle at hearing criticism of our leaders. But to

be a leader in ISKCON requires an extremely high standard, and if some

people cannot maintain such a standard they really have no right to claim to

be, or to assume the posts as leaders. Srila Prabhupada was uncompromising

when it came to standards, he wanted them set high.

 

Thanks for you compassionate yet very realistic view on this subject.
